Chapter 265: 35: The Remnants Are Destroyed

".In view of what happened today, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Next, I will accept the supervision of the parliament, dissolve the cabinet, and formally resign."

"You actually resigned?"

The cowboy watched the latest press conference on TV. The humorous old man, who was completely different from the one he first met, now looked like a loser who had admitted defeat. With his last bit of meticulousness, he announced that he took responsibility for the incident, resigned, and chose to end his political career.

"Maybe this is what Heath wants." The Hound thought, stroking his chin.

Mosaic slumped down on the sofa opposite, playing games with tired eyes open.

Now the two paladins have temporarily taken over his protection work, allowing him to take a break with a clear conscience.

Although most of the time the protection was just slacking off, but today's battle could really be said to be a battle where all the strength was used.

Before the battle outside the Defort Palace, considering that Hiss's main target might be Abdul, it was discussed that Cowboy and Hound would be responsible for guarding Abdul's place and find time to launch a sneak attack once Hiss appeared.

Olivier was secretly protected by the paladin who had contacted them earlier.

The two missed the battle as a result, and until the end, Heath did not come over, as if telling them that their guess was wrong.

"You mean that Hiss lost his most precious wife and children because of Abdul, and now he wants to retaliate, which means he will lose the most precious thing as well. This thing is neither his mother nor Olivier whom he tried his best to protect, but Olivier's 'governing philosophy'?" The cowboy had the same idea.

"Yes, Heath did not lie. Haha, just like the words he left behind, 'Kill Olivier'. What he wanted to kill was Olivier's spirit." The hound sighed, "Given the current situation in Gaul, I'm afraid..."

Mosaic, who was quietly playing games, also spoke up: "Right-wing forces came to power, cut immigrant benefits, reduced immigration, and then conflicts intensified, that's about it. However, it's not necessarily a bad thing. I never thought that Olivier could save Gaul. He was just a positive role model. Anyway, for the upper class, controlling immigration within a certain range will do them more good than harm."

The cowboy didn't say anything. The situation in Britannia where she was was not much better. An immigration conflict broke out not long ago.

Only Hans, where the hound was, didn't feel anything.

"After the change of government, what about Abdul?" The Hound said meaningfully.

"They are not fools, so they will naturally not hand over Abdul, but their trust in him is definitely not as much as it was during the time of Olivier. They will probably regard him more as a mascot and a deterrent weapon. I just don't know what Abdul will think. Without Olivier, it may be unknown whether he is willing to stay in Gaul. After all, the people here don't know much about him..." The cowboy was slightly absent-minded.

"Why should we worry about this? Olivier will probably meet and talk with him tomorrow. Judging from their relationship, it should be possible for Abdul to stay in Gaul." The Hound was optimistic about this.

"I'm worried that Heath hasn't achieved his goal yet and might continue to attack. There's no reason for us to wait here forever." The cowboy just wanted to finish the job quickly and get to the teacher.

"Our mission is to destroy the Soul Assembly and the demons, and Heath's words are worth our time." The Hound was looking forward to another confrontation with Heath.

The sleepy Mosaic lowered his head slowly, his eyelids drooping, and he slowly put the game console on his chest, sleeping as if he was in a coma.

The Hound was speechless and lifted him upright on the sofa.

"I heard that this guy made a big scene today. I'm afraid I may not be his opponent next time we compete."

The cowboy was not interested in this: "Marksay has never been interested in rankings. Maybe the previous few times were just letting you win."

"How is that possible! I won by relying on my own strength! See, this is the real value!" The Hound couldn't bear to hear this, and quickly took out the sword that Hasamu gave him to show off.

"Okay, Mr. Champion, let's leave it at that for today. I'll keep an eye on Abdul tonight. I hope that in the next few days, for the sake of the Paladin, we can catch those remnants of the Demon Lord as soon as possible." The cowboy waved his hand and took on the job for tonight.

"Then I'll go to the Paladin to see if there's anything I can do to help. Let me know if there's anything urgent."

"Go ahead, Mr. Champion."

late at night.

In a dilapidated monastery in the suburbs.

Anfia arrived at the agreed stop despite her injuries. She sensed around but could not find any trace of Augustus and the others.

"No, did they change the location temporarily? Why didn't they inform me?"

Anfia frowned, wondering if there were any other alternative means of contact.

But in the end she had to give up, because the connection between them had always been one-way. As a demon, she did not know divine grace, so naturally she could not contact Augustus through those special means.

Anfia didn't think she was abandoned. After all, she should still be useful to Augustus. He would not abandon her unless it was necessary, unless she encountered a situation that even Augustus and his men found difficult.
"Long time no see, Anfia."

Ye Jie, who had been waiting for a long time, came down from the top floor and greeted her calmly.

Anfia's breath hitched, and she looked at her in disbelief.

“You shouldn’t.”

"We shouldn't be keeping the Demon Lord in Mo City, right?" Ye Jie helped her complete the sentence, which made Anfiya silent.

Ye Jie looked at Anfiya carefully, and the more he looked, the more regretful his expression became.

Alarm bells rang in Anfiya's mind and she dared not move her body. She had never experienced the feeling of being stared at by her natural enemy before. Only now did she finally understand why the Demon Lord was defeated.

Obviously, the last time they fought, the opponent didn't give her such a strong sense of oppression.

Of course, it may also be because the Demon Lord was present at the time, which eliminated the opponent's characteristics.

"The real Anfiya is dead. She struggled to say something to you, which blocked my actions and forced me to self-destruct to delay time. Now I am just a demon who inherited her memory." The black flesh and bone wings behind Anfiya spread out, and even though they were trembling, they pointed at Ye Jie. "I know." Ye Jie did not continue this topic, looking around, "I thought you would lead me to find the people in the soul gathering, but I didn't expect that their noses are as sensitive as ever. Now that you have been abandoned, do you still want to struggle?"

"Do you think I will just sit there and wait for death?" Anfia sneered, "This is not the creed of us demons."

The devil's creed? Ye Jie shook her head. She didn't know that demons had such a thing. She took out the bottle of holy water and showed it to the other party.

"Don't you want to see the Demon Lord? I can tell you clearly that she is in here."

Anfiya's eyes widened. She didn't understand why Ye Jie did this, but her desire for the Demon Lord overwhelmed everything. After her body hesitated for a few breaths, she suddenly shot out like a bullet.

Unfortunately, such speed was nothing in Ye Jie's eyes. He stretched out one hand with ease, easily grabbed the base of the opponent's wing, and then tore it out like pulling a carrot.

With a shrill scream that pierced the night sky, Anfia's wings were plucked off and thrown aside.

Ye Jie, with his white hair and white clothes, seemed to be emitting a fluorescent light. He was not stained with blood and remained as holy as ever.

"Since you want to see her so much, then go ahead and meet her, Demon Lord, you can come out now."

Ye Jie opened the bottle cap, and a stream of black gas slowly fell from the bottle mouth, quickly filling the surrounding bottom space like dry ice mist.

Anfia, who was lying on the ground and struggling, smelled the familiar breath and couldn't help but get excited. She stretched out her bloody and trembling hand and shouted, "Demon Lord, Demon Lord!"

Then, as the black fog dissipated, only a large, black, ugly dog ​​appeared in its place.

"Demon Lord?" Anfiya's expression suddenly became dull, full of disbelief.

The Demon Lord just glanced at her and ignored her. He immediately wagged his tail and lay down in front of Ye Jie: "Lady Goddess! I haven't seen you for a few days. You are still so graceful and energetic--"

Ye Jie raised his hand to stop her from continuing and pointed at Anfiya: "Do you still recognize her?"

The Demon Lord seemed to have seen Anfiya at this moment. He looked at her carefully, and then suddenly realized, "Of course I recognize her. She is a little devil that I trained when I was young. She dared to attack the goddess when she saw her. She really doesn't know what is good for her! Lady Goddess, do you need my help to teach her a lesson and let her understand the order of respect and inferiority?"

This is just what the Demon Lord said. She has no power at all now. At most, she can suppress and intimidate with her momentum.

However, with this intimidating look, the effect would probably be reduced by half.

Ye Jie did not agree, and An Feiya finally faced the reality at this moment. Her eyes were filled with despair, as if her faith had collapsed. If it were not for the same breath telling her this reality, she would not have dared to confirm that the flattering black dog in front of her was actually the once high and mighty Demon Lord.

The demon who inherited Anfia's memory had infinite admiration for the Demon Lord who saved her from the fire and water. Now it was a double blow to her.

".Oh, I find this man really pathetic. He was used by the old nun in the monastery. In order to be saved, he threw himself into the arms of the devil. He didn't expect that justice would arrive at such an impartial time, and he became the villain. What a coincidence. Now he is abandoned again. Tell me, if you had appeared earlier, there would be no need for a devil like me. Anfia should be able to live well." Anfia, who was slowly waking up, spoke with self-mockery.

Ye Jie said nothing about this.

"The goddess represents the coming of the Lord, how can you interfere? Considering we have known each other for a while, I will give you a chance to resolve it yourself. Otherwise, if the goddess takes action, you will be in pain. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance." The demon lord barked.

Anfiya took a deep breath and didn't look at her again. She had a determined look and madly overdrew her strength. A new pair of flesh wings grew on her back. With a loud shout, she attacked Ye Jie brazenly.

I saw a thin beam of light rushing up into the sky, and then it quickly broke and disappeared.

In the dilapidated monastery, Anfia had disappeared, and only some black ashes were left on the scene, which were blown away by the evening breeze.

The Demon Lord who was hiding in the corner slowly leaned out. He almost hurt her accidentally just now. If she was really scratched, she didn't know how long she would suffer.

".Feel it for a while, are there any demon remnants nearby?" Ye Jie asked, putting away his hand as he watched the black ash dissipate at his fingertips.

"I'll confirm it now." The Demon Lord jumped a few times and climbed to a high place. He took a deep breath and after several minutes, he jumped down and reported, "There are only some minions left. The lord-level demons have all disappeared. Those minions have no ability to develop offline. It can be said that the demons I created in the past have lost the capital for expansion."

Finally there is good news. The remnants of the Demon Lord who had been wreaking havoc in Europe have finally been eliminated. Now the main threat is the Soul Gathering.

The headquarters of the Soul Gathering is in the American continent. To hide in Europe, sacrifices must be made, which will only be counterproductive in the long run, so he should also retreat, allowing Europe to temporarily restore stability.

"Well, Lady Goddess, I think Anfia must have left a scent mark on those people in the Soul Gathering. If I get close, I should be able to smell it." The Demon Lord suggested in a servile manner.

"Even she can't find the mark she left behind?" Ye Jie asked doubtfully.

The Demon Lord shook his head: "She is not powerful enough, and the aura she left behind is not too deep. It can only be found by approaching a certain distance. Unlike me, the aura I left for them was very strong, and those demons could find me by the aura. I guess this is why they are mixed together. However, after a few years, the aura I left behind has long dissipated."

Ye Jie thought of a demon symbiote named Carl in the Northern Alliance. Although he was parasitized by the demon, he controlled the demon in turn. He found Augustus and fought with him not long after the chaos in Mo City. It was probably because he relied on the demon in his body to navigate.

"I will take you on a quick tour of Europe. I hope you can play a role."

"Of course, of course! Thank you, Lady Goddess!" She did not feel sad at all for the annihilation of her subordinates. She now considered herself to be in the goddess's camp.

Only by doing this to atone for her sins would there be hope that in the future she would help plead with the Creator so that she would not suffer even worse suffering.

It would be even more miserable if that damn Michael was still alive. I would be tortured to the point where I would be unable to live or die.

Without further ado, Ye Jie did not stop. He just greeted Jennifer and the others through the equipment, and then began to travel around Europe quickly with the Demon Lord.

Come to think of it, she hasn't been out for a few years, so it's nice to take a break. At her speed, she should be able to complete the inspection in about a week. But by then, no matter if she finds anything or not, she will have to set off for Tokyo.
